LaVie 2-in-1 Warming Lactation Massager, 2 Pack, Heat and Vibration, Pumping and Breastfeeding Essential, for Clogged Ducts, Improved Milk Flow, Mastitis

I read the reviews and was still skeptical and seeing the price of two, I was worried about spending that kind of money! I was trying to out weigh the decision by buying these or spending a ton more in formula. I'm glad now, that I went ahead and bought these! So to begin with, you have to charge before the first use! After that, I get about three pumping sessions with these, before they start blinking and die on you! Easy to charge, and I love that it's one cord with dual charging ports! Makes it a little more convenient and not have to keep track of two charging cords! Also, just because you turn off the vibration, doesn't mean the heat turns off and vis versa! Now on to my story! In the beginning of September, I got really sick for two days (not Covid/not the flu) and on top of that my right breast, I had terrible pain in as well! This is my second baby and my first baby, I never had mastitis! I didn't think much of it this time because I figured it had to be something with getting sick! I still don't know if it was ever mastitis! After I recovered my right breast never produced like it did before! I've done a ton of research and it always said not to worry, the other breast would make up for it! but at one time, both breast were producing wonderfully, 5 + oz each time! Even the left breast slowed down a bit but not like the right side! Sometimes I would pump for 10-15 minutes or 20 and the right would produce 2 oz less or more compared to the left! This is all after being sick! I started to try to nurse off the right side first when I wasn't pumping, thinking that would help, none the less, it would still only produce 2 oz., rather it be every 2 hours or every 3-4 hours! I bought these and it's made a difference! The recommended time is no more then 10 minutes or you could burn! Sometimes I do 10 minute heat and then keep the vibration on. Other times, I do 5 minute heat and continue with vibration. At work, I use these for 10 minutes and then keep pumping for another 20. When I don't use these, my breast produce like usually, stated above! When I use them, they produce at least another 1-2 oz. more! I use a portable and stationary pump! The portable is more bulky and takes up the entire bra basically, so it's a little harder to use these as, they don't bend but I love that they are slightly already made curved! I try to put as flat and as tight to skin pre instructions! (you can move them however you like) They work almost just as good with portable! When I use the stationary pump and just the flanges are in the bra, they fit much better and stay tucked into bra! Little less hassle! I don't have picture of portable pump without them but it's relatively the same amount as the other picture without massagers! I also tried to keep apples to apples and the pictures are about the same time waited in-between from nursing then pumping! So I would nurse and then pump about 1 hours - 2 hours later! The round picture is at work but I left to nurse 2 1/2 prior to pumping! I would recommend! Update: I added a picture of the round portable pumps without using the massagers! You can see my right breast produced less!

We welcomed to the world our premmie baby ahead of time and all of the sudden, all our plans went to the trash can. Aside of sleep deprivation, we had to focus on my wife's recovery from c- section, while having to nurture a 4.11 pounds baby. One morning around the 1st month, our Doula (Professional trained on birth - I didn't know that!) sat me down and told me point blank: This is serious, your wife has several blocked ducts (one of them gigantic), if we don't get them under control within the next 24hrs, she is going to develop mastitis - it is going to be painful for her. The solution- I was told to help her to massage her breasts with 2 electric toothbrushes (hands would not be enough). After just one round of toothbrushes massage (and those warmer pads you heat in the microwave) I could not fathom my wife having to endure this for whatever is that she would like to breastfeed our baby (or pump into bottles). Let alone, she was so tired (physically and emotionally) that she was ready to give up breastfeeding altogether. This is when I did my research and found this medical device. I didn't hesitate and got it delivered overnight and we saw IMMEDIATE success. These devices provide the right amount of heat and depth of vibration to unblock her 5-10 blocked ducts. In a matter of minutes, we helped her to prevent a severe infection. She has been using them religiously every time she pumps (baby doesn't like the vibration during feedings). We are also supplementing with Legendairy Milk® Sunflower Lecithin, 1200mg (bought in AMAZON) and she is doing great. Our experience with the device is ~ 5 weeks. No more need for heating pads (certainly no electric toothbrushes!) . She wears them under her breastfeeding bra's (those with openings that allow pumping or breastfeeding) and she doesn't need to hold them (unless she is treating a very deep clot). There have been a couple of instances when other ducts got blocked (primarily when baby decides not to drink empty the breasts) but right away these devices have helped her to unblock the ducts. No medicine, no pain. I remember reading a negative comment of the device not helping - I'm a guy (forgive me!) and all I can say is that perhaps these massagers work in small to medium breasts sizes. At least, I can attest, they have work on my wive's c-cup breasts. I also remember seeing complaints about the battery - we don't have any issue with this. Specifically, my wife keeps them in her breast pumping station. She uses them ~2 sessions (20 minutes each) for a total of 40 minutes before re-charging them. Lastly (and I'm not getting paid to say this) - my wife almost every day thanks me for having found these massagers. She thinks of them as live savers (perhaps a bit of stretch) but certainly they have helped us to continue our breastfeeding journey with our little one. Our Doula didn't know about these massagers - she was thrilled and impressed when we show them to her. I believe she has now share them with her company so that other Doulas can recommend them to other clients. Great product, and yes I highly recommend it - IF I would have learned about blocked ducts before, I would have hesitated to purchase these expensive massagers... Having lived what it means for my wife and baby to face the potential of mastitis - these devices are priceless to me.

I use these daily, almost every pumping session. They really help maximize your milk output and resolve minor clogs, especially if it’s been more than a few hours since you pumped. I also use them to break up clogs - the vibration plus heat makes them more effective than those microwave heating pads. Nice bonus: with them in, I barely feel any nipple discomfort while pumping. I was hesitant at first given the price but well worth the investment if you’re planning to pump a lot. Only couple caveats - I do still manually massage in addition to these, they don’t get everything out. And battery life is short - keep it plugged in and it’ll just be a minor inconvenience.

These lactation massagers were a game-changer for me when I first started breastfeeding. I had a major oversupply, leading to constant engorgement and clogged ducts, and these massagers really helped me manage it all. They significantly improved my milk flow during pumping sessions, providing much-needed relief. However, there are a couple of downsides. The battery life could be better—it only lasts through two pumping sessions before needing a recharge. Also, be cautious with the high-heat setting, as it gets quite hot. Make sure to move the massager around, or it may cause redness and sensitivity in one area. Despite these minor issues, I highly recommend them for anyone dealing with engorgement or clogs!

These have been great so far! I have noticed I produce more when using these. They really surprised me because I didn't believe the hype at first. They have helped me with pain while pumping. Works great. Durable so far. Helps provide relief while pumping.

I'm kind of torn with this one because it does what it says it does, kind of. It gets warm and it vibrates. It does nothing to make me pump for shorter amounts or produce more or anything like that. They are big and bulky, but I kind of like the heat, so that's nice. I had a badly clogged duct recently and this thing did really help with that. I used the heat and the vibrate and it really helped work that clog out. That was the most useful this thing ever was and if it weren't $70, it would be worth it just for that. But it's expensive. And lets talk about the battery life. It says it's good for 3 20 minute sessions with heat and vibrate. Mine lasts about 3 15 minute sessions (sometimes less) and I can't figure out why. For the size of these things, they couldn't toss a decent battery in there? It's not producing so much heat or so much vibration that it makes sense for it to eat that much battery unless it's just the smallest battery ever. And remember, these thing are huge. They are like 4 inches long and over an inch thick. Why can't they put a decent battery in them so I don't have to charge them every day? They take about 90 minutes to charge. The battery life is easily the most annoying thing about this product and the thing that has finally broken me into writing this review. I have the things, so I'll keep using them, you know, when the batteries don't die. But if I could buy them again, I wouldn't. Not for the price.

100% worth the money. I was a just enougher when breastfeeding with my last son. I purchased these a few years ago in anticipation of another child. I am using them now to pump and already have 80 oz in my freezer stash and my son is only 2 weeks old. I am able to pump more, in a quicker time frame, than when pumping without these. I just pumped 4oz from each breast immediately AFTER breastfeeding. Without the massagers I will get between 2 - 3 ounces. I like the fact that there are different heat and vibration settings.

It's been one year since I have been using this device. I have weaned off breastfeeding at 12 months. During this time I have used it for milk stimulation, clog busting and as a neck/shoulder massage. The vibration and heat are aggressive enough to help with muscle tension. These devices will continued to be used to alleviate the neck and migraine pain. Amazing product for me with versatile functionality. Obviously durable after one year of usage.
